One of org-mode biggest strengths is its simplicity. I do not want it to turn
into a feature ridden dinosaur that is impossible to maintain.
I keep my projects simple. I plan not for the sake of planning but to get an
overview. So for dependency tracking I usually just reorder my tasks. I don't
want to fidget with my plan all day. I want to get things done :-)
To that end my plea is to keep org mode simple. That's why John's proposal
appeals to me. It is flexible and delegates the complexity to emacs lisp instead
of inventing another micro language for dependency tracking.
